Why do some people say its adhesive tape and the official instruction manual say that the installation requires removing parts &amp; screwing the sill?

These are taped in place (mounted on the back of the parts from the factory). NO SCREWS are needed to mount.

It is simply tapped on with a block and hammer for install. To take it off I'd recommend some penetrating oil to loosen it, and tapping it downwards with a block and hammer.

The tape has a backing which protects the glue. You peel off the backing before you install. Works great!

If you have window that opens up from the bottom, there are mental L's you have to attach to the shelf and slip over the sill. If you window opens out you have to secure the shelf with screws.

I had a buddy install it for me and he made no mention of that. It seemed to be fine and much cheaper than getting it at an auto parts store.

everything to install comes with unit. only requires philips crosspoint screwdriver to install provided L angle bar to top of unit then place the enclosed window fill pieces to sides of unit. set unit ion open window sill, close window down and in behind L angle, and adjust window fill shutters to fill in remaining window space, and installation is virtually complete. you may, or may not need to use the foam stripping that is provided to make better seal. for myself, i didn't require it. hope this helps.

Talk to the company. Mine popped out during installation because I didn't follow the directions like they said. But now it's in there and been fine for months.

It has its own "release liner" - so when you unravel, you will need to remove the liner to expose the adhesive

I removed mine but had to do some prep work before installing new one. Just clean surface be sure to remove all old adhesive.

You need to improvise your own installation. How can the manufacturer anticipate all of the installation variations? If you can't figure it out, hire someone to do the installation for you.

Very easy. I don't recall if silicone adhesive came with it or not. If not, you just need to pick up a small tube at your local hardware store.

The parts come with adhesive tape already mounted. The OEM instructions state the you have to remove the trim panels in order to apply the pieces, but merely tipping the edge under the existing plastic frame achieves an excellent result. Removing the panels appears to be redundant. I used painters type to mark where I wanted the edges to go, and then removed the plastic from the mounted tape and pressed them into place. Install took about ten minutes. In order to install the lighted trim, you will need to remove the interior trim, so I am not sure if Honda just did a "cut and paste" of the first few steps to create the directions for these.

Please refer to the installation instructions provided- it is about 10 pages long and contains very explicit directions and failure to comply with all stated directions will void the manufacture warranty. Melanie with Goedeker

The adhesive on the back is pretty aggressive. It can be attached to a wall but depending on paint type and wall you are going to have to be very careful when you go to take it off. When you go to install it, it may be easier if two people work together. One to hold it it up while the other starts to mount it to the wall using your finger and a soft cloth. Work your way slowly from one corner and work out, make sure you press out all air bubbles as you install it. When you go to remove it there are a couple things to make it easier: One - use a hair dryer and warm the surface to the contact material. Two-start to peel it from one corner and peel it back at about a 45 degree angle while keeping it warm with the dryer. Adhesive clean up is pretty easy from there.

Silicone is needed before mounting and tighten up all screw and make sure all the rough edge is sand down.

Technically, I can't say that it is because I had our maintenance guy install it. But, he was able to do it without complaint. I think installation is straight forward.
